I'm surprised these cities have dropped out of the top 10:

Gary, Indiana,

New Orleans, Louisiana

Washington DC

Camden, NJ

Cleveland, Ohio

All of these cities are filled with Democrats and Democrat politicians who never quite solve the problems of their communities.

Wow! In Flint you have a 2.3% chance of violent crime!

I suspect the number of police in each jurisdiction has precious little to do with the crime rate.

Of course, but you’ll notice they did not include that with the rest of their statistical data. Could be racist to do such a thing!

There is a decades long inconvenient political and demographic component in common here.

All these cities are filled with people. The more people you have in an area the more problems you are going to have. You will never see any city in Alaska or North Dakota having this many problems because their numbers are too low.

“Obama Stash” must be flowing freely into these areas, keeping things calm.

Frankly I’d walk in a Detroit blackout than some areas of Chicago during the day.

After all, what was the weekend tally in Chicago vs Detroit?

Either that or those Norwegian Lutherans trying to force hot dishes on everyone. You know how rowdy they get after a 2nd cup of coffee!

It isn’t poverty or unemployment that causes crime. Just look at the statistics from the Great Depression.

While the violent crime rate drops nationally this means more drones, pre-crime cameras, and stripping of our Constitutional rights will be needed!

Compared to most American cities, Atlanta has extremely high incidences of both violent and property crimes.

GO ATLANTA! I know we can make it to number one if we just try a little harder. With the current rabidly anti-gun administration (black democrat of course), I'm sure that disarming potential victims is on their agenda. This will enable Atlanta to hit the number one spot sooner rather than later.

Stockton was where the Barkleys had their ranch in The Big Valley TV series.

I seriously question the way things are being reported. I know there were several murders in Chicago over the weekend but I only see 1 double murder in Detroit. Where is Washington DC on that list?

Many of New Orleans troubles have been moved to Houston and Savanna. DC has a great deal of money and almost no unemployment thanks to the 25% increase in Federal Spending. Almost the entire population of Gary IN is gone. There population is now around 80K making it below 100K and not eligible for the survey. Cleveland has pushed most of its’ problems out of the city and into the inner ring suburbs like Cleveland Hts and East Cleveland, that and the loss of population has made Cleveland not only much safer, It isn't even the most dangerous city on Ohio anymore.
